Durian - The King of all Fruit

Although no cooking is involved here, I thought that a post should be dedicated to the durian, aka the king of fruit. Now I don't want to talk about how people think this fruit stinks or that it may smell of old socks. I just want to say that when a significant number of south east asians love this fruit, there can't be anything wrong with it. Also, the durian is a favourite food of the elephants! Now they can't possibly be wrong can they? 

When I first laid eyes, and nose, on this fruit as a child, I have to say that although I thought it smelled strong, I did not think that it smelled bad. I had no reservations with trying it at all. Perhaps, I've always been an adventurous foodie from the start. 

These durians are perfect to make into durian puffs.
